I have to say that the BBQ world is filled with a ton of great people and that’s been an amazing part of this BBQ journey we are on.  I had the pleasure to cook with one of the good ones recently. 

We met Charles Wong at his BBQ restaurant UMAMICUE inside Spilt Milk Tavern.  The visit was made to try some of his delicious food and we loved every bit of the food.  We had the opportunity to chat while there and he gave us some real time.  Not just a “thanks for stopping by”. And at the end of our conversation Charles offered for me to come cook with him to learn his process for cooking briskets.  And his ranks up there with the best I’ve ever had.  Of course, I had to take the opportunity.  I spent the day learning from someone who truly knows the art of great bbq. 

The graciousness that Charles showed me epitomizes everything that is great in the world of BBQ.  Not just great food but being kind, open and willing to help make things better. 

This was the first time that I got to cook on an amazing 500 gallon offset smoker and I loved it!! May need to start saving!!! LOL

This is one of the experiences that is truly inspirational.  Cheers Charles, and thanks again for everything!!

Had a great dining experience at Perilla in Chicago last night. 

The pop up event menu was put together by @perillachicago , @umamicue and @leroyandlewis .  Anyone that knows me knows how much I love the food and experience at LeRoy and Lewis in Austin, Tx.  There was no chance I would miss this event. 

Food was out of this world!! And I was very excited getting to meet Evan LeRoy @evanleroybbq himself at this event!! Couldn’t have been nicer to us, which Becky and I both appreciated. 

There was also a Mad Scientist BBQ, Mrs. Scientist and Joe Yim sighting. (Though I was too excited to say anything to them it was definitely awesome to be at the same event!) 

Cheers everyone!! Thanks for a great event!

Made some creole shrimp for dinner. 

Shrimp from @supremelobsterchicago seared in the carbon steel pan with @xtra_cajun Cajun Blackening and BBQ Rub. 

Creole sauce with the holy trinity of celery, bell pepper and onion.  Along with garlic, spices, @biancodinapolitomatoes tomatoes and some Gator Mo-Jeaux from Xtra Cajun as well!!

Served over some long grain rice. 

This dish was a home run and will be in the rotation going forward!!

Whipped up a grandma style pizza using the recipe from @kingarthurbaking Pizza Book.  And of course we used King Arthur Flour and @biancodinapolitomatoes tomatoes.  Cooked on the amazing @lloydpans sheet pan. 

This came out amazing!  Crispy, yet airy and soft.  Tangy, cheesy with amazing sausage and pepperoni from Ambrosino’s Italian Market. 

We crushed this pizza!!

Found an interesting cut of meat at the local Depot store and decided to fire it up. 

I took this beef knuckle and made some “Knuckle Sandwiches”. 

Salt brined, onto the rotisserie until medium rare, sliced thin and then piled high onto a sandwich.  Homemade ciabatta, horseradish sauce, Muenster cheese and pickled red onions top this off!!

Definitely will be doing these again! 

Full video on YouTube!  Check it out!!
